The Sawmill Place

Now, this is what farm-to-table dining is all about! Nestled in a charming cabin just down the road the road from the town square in Blairsville, The Sawmill Place is truly a destination to plan your visit around. Start your agri-adventures with a hearty, cooked-to-order breakfast using seasonal, locally-sourced goods — the farm fresh eggs and Applewood Smoked Bacon are brought in daily, and the fresh berries on your Buttermilk Pancakes probably came from around the corner at Tim Dyer’s Blueberry Patch. At lunch time (or dinner as we say in the South), the experienced Sawmill staff family serves up an authentic meat-and-three using locally sourced meats and fresh veggies harvested on area farms — try the Pork Chops, Meatloaf, Slow- Cooked Roast Beef or Chicken ’n Dumplins paired with some delicious sides, including Okra & Tomatoes, Corn on the Cob, Red Skin Potatoes, Crowder Peas and, of course, Fried Green Tomatoes. The menu is harvest driven and filled with heirloom recipes from co-owner Amy Kight’s family. “As Amy was growing up, if they didn’t grow it or catch it, they didn’t eat it!” co-owner Shawn Kight explains. “So, we’d rather source five items from 10 local growers instead of making one call to a food service truck.”
